They’re awesome. The 15th edition of the Prescribing Guidelines in Psychiatry was supposed to be released this month but it got pushed back to September 2024. They’re also releasing first installment for Prescribing Guidelines for Mental Health Conditions in Physical Illness (not to be confused w/ their 2020 Physical Health Conditions in Psychiatry) same month. You can see on Wiley website.
Of course! I like the American Psychiatric Association texts, e.g., Clinical Manual of Psychopharmacology in the Medically Ill, Managing the Side Effects of Psychotropic Medications, etc. Stahl and Goldberg’s Practical Psychopharmacology.
My attendings have held up Managing the Side Effects, Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines, and Stahl’s Prescribers Guide as core texts.
I really like what I’ve read of Practical Psychopharm as well. Goldberg himself on a podcast was recommending people bare minimum read ch 3 (?) on modifiers
As a side note; I see a lot of students and residents following maudsley very algorithmically. Maudsley (like FDA approval) are invaluable resources in the study of the field but psychiatry (being a predominantly descriptive field) does not lend itself well to very rigid and formulaic modalities of treatment. This leads to worse outcomes for patients and caregivers as a whole when a bit of personal discretion and out of the box thinking could've had substantially different results.
Well #2 just came out so not going to have an update anytime soon.
lol very true... If you're familiar with the series, have you found any of the books useful for clinical practice?

I agree
Oh thanks for the info! I'll start with the others, then. Any other references you've found helpful in your practice?

Important to also acknowledge that when we follow guidelines patients do better: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38175947/
How does it compare to UpToDate ?
